Parklane Plowden Chambers has welcomed a new tenant to its 40-plus strong family team.
Naomi Hartridge (pictured), who was called to the Bar in 2017, specialises in both public and private work in relation to family matters.
She joins Parklane Plowden from Leeds-based Spire Barristers, where she practiced for five years. Hartridge initially qualified as a solicitor in 1999, specialising in white-collar crime in Harley Street, London.
Hartridge’s public law practice has seen her instructed in complex multi-sibling and placement matters on behalf of parents, children and local authorities.
She has also represented vulnerable clients in the High Court in cases involving secure accommodation applications.
Within her private law practice, Hartridge advises in matters involving parental alienation, international relocation, non-accidental injury, sexual offences, and other contact and parenting issues.
Commenting on her new tenancy, Hartridge said: “Parklane Plowden’s family practice has an outstanding reputation and a clear growth plan.
“It’s a progressive chambers, focused on making a positive difference in all that it does, and I look forward to working closely with the team to further enhance the set’s family service”
Parklane Plowden’s family practice director, Mark Williams, commented: “Naomi’s experience dealing with sensitive, complex cases that involve a caring, empathetic approach makes her ideally suited to support some of our most vulnerable clients.
“She is an excellent addition to the family set which demonstrates our growth ambitions for our practice.”
